The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is focused on ensuring best value for money in its procurement activity and, wherever possible, we seek to fulfil our requirements through open competition. For those instances where we must procure from a single source, the new Defence Reform Act 2014 and the Single Service Contract Regulations 2014 will help the MOD secure improved value for money through legally enforceable pricing and transparency rules. We have also established a Single Source Regulations Office, which will ensure that good value for money is obtained in Government expenditure on qualifying defence contracts and that contractors are paid a fair and reasonable price. The MOD does not hold information on savings realised through value for money procedures, but evaluates products and processes systematically to provide confidence about suitability, effectiveness, prudence, quality and good value. In a drive to continually reduce costs and deliver value for money the MOD has secured five year savings of £1.006 billion.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1542", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Philip Dunne"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ludlow"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Philip Dunne"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-11T17:56:05.02Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Procurement"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what procedures his Department has to ensure value for money on purchases; if he will estimate what savings have been realised by use of such procedures in the last 12 months; and if he will make statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/627", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Campbell of Pittenweem"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Fife"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Menzies Campbell"} ], "uin" : "226379"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/224678", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/224678/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) publishes data on direct expenditure with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), excluding its trading funds, on the Gov.UK website. The final figures for financial year 2012/13 and the provisional figures for financial year 2013/14 are available at the link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/mod-contracting-with-smes-index<\/p>

The MOD does not hold data on expenditure with SMEs through the supply chain (indirect expenditure). The Cabinet Office has recently published indicative indirect expenditure with SMEs, collated from spend figures reported by suppliers via the SID4GOV platform as part of the centrally coordinated quarterly supplier survey, in their publication 'Central Government direct and indirect expenditure with SMEs 2013 to 2014' available at the link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/central-government-spend-with-smes-2013-to-2014<\/p>

Provisional figures released by the Cabinet Office in this publication indicate that MOD direct and indirect spend with SMEs is 19.4%.<\/p>

For the period April 2014 to February 2015, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory known direct expenditure with SMEs was 9.5%.<\/p>

The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) does not currently record direct or indirect expenditure with SMEs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1542", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Philip Dunne"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ludlow"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Philip Dunne"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-09T17:02:47.527Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Procurement"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of the amount (a) his Department and (b) its agencies and non-departmental public bodies spent on procurement was paid to small and medium-sized enterprises (i) directly and (ii) through the supply chain in the last year for which figures are available.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4128", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chuka Umunna"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Streatham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Chuka Umunna"} ], "uin" : "226056"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/222464", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/222464/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
